Dear community,
We are choosing between four plots of land that we could buy from a private seller. Specifically, these are the four plots numbered in the development plan.

Plots 1 and 2 are approximately 500 m² (5,380 sq ft) in size. Plot 3 is somewhat smaller. Plot 4 is around 400 m² (4,300 sq ft).
The development plan requires a driveway width of at least 5 m (16.5 ft).
We are planning to build a single-family house of about 150–180 m² (1,615–1,940 sq ft) with a garage.
Which of the plots would you recommend and why?

The standard land value according to BORIS for the plot is 165€ (euros)For me, it is 45, but probably not classified as building land (Boris-BW, current status)

Next door, the asking prices for BRWs are 115 and 140 €/m² (approximately $125 and $155 per square yard). I have no idea at what price the municipality will market the new development area. What do you mean by "next door"?
The municipality owns 4 plots in the new development and plans to set the price per square meter this month. (I’m estimating somewhere between 200 and 300 euros per m² (about $185 to $280 per square yard)). Privately, they want 450 euros per m² (around $420 per square yard).
Thanks a lot for the sketch. Is there a particular reason why you placed the garage all the way to the north? Personally, I prefer when the garden is as contiguous as possible and doesn’t run through the house. So I would tend to shift the house and garage closer together.
By the way: Why is a west-facing garage considered not ideal?

This is how it looks for me; I think it really depends on where you are on the map. It varies a lot.
From yesterday to today, it even changed to 170:
Edit: Given the BRW, I would also reject the private offer at €450.
Unless there is a compelling reason to pay that price?
I know that a few years ago it was common to buy land prices far above the standard land value.
Considering current interest rates and construction costs, I would think twice about that.

To illustrate my last post...
Just a small tip: try talking to your local building or environmental authority. This looks like a lot of sealed surface area to me. Our neighbors, for example, are currently struggling with the size of their terrace because their plot is too small and too much area is sealed. This means their terrace will now only be 10m² (108ft²) instead of 25m² (269ft²).
This isn’t very important at this stage, but it’s something to keep in mind. We didn’t know this before either, but luckily our plot is large enough.
